Dr. J, I was watching Jurassic Park the other day and wanted to ask you two things about it:
1: Did you like it Dinosour expert and
2: could that possibly ever happen to bring dinosours back
#2 is a good question Clay. I started getting it as soon as "Jurassic Park" came out in the theatres.
As for #1, the tall expert was impressive but pompous (good-looking dude, though ... ha). Sam Neill's character was a good guy, character-wise. But you know they both believed very much in evolution. I think I could have been friends with both of them, but would disagree with them on Darwin.
As for "can that happen"#2 ... probably not ... maybe not for 10 yrs, or 100 yrs, or ever. There's just too much unknown about DNA to be able to say whether we can clone dead things or not at all. And even though dino DNA is only about 4000 yrs old (some maybe only 500) ... it's still probably not possible. But who knows? And the same question Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldbum's obnoxious character) asked is still a good one. "Should we?"
Keep thinking. Your friend, Dr Jackson
